Returns a string used for submit button label

chiperific · Apr 5, 2021

This private method returns the label used for the f.submit helper.

https://apidock.com/rails/v5.2.3/ActionView/Helpers/FormBuilder/submit

<%= form_for @post do |f| %>
<%= f.submit %>
<% end %>

In the example above, if @post is a new record, this method returns “Create Post” as submit button label; otherwise, it uses “Update Post”.

This method also checks for custom language using I18n under the helpers.submit key and using %{model} for translation interpolation:

en:
helpers:
  submit:
    create: "Create a %{model}"
    update: "Confirm changes to %{model}"

It also searches for a key specific to the given object:

en:
helpers:
  submit:
    post:
      create: "Add %{model}"
